Fishing villages in Tanjung Piai ideal for eco-tourism but homestays and chalets yet to get CFO or licences

The houses in the fishing villages in Tanjung Piai, Pontian, have not obtained business licences to operate as chalets or homestays.

PONTIAN: Despite the state government’s enthusiasm in transforming Kukup and Kampung Air Masin’s fishing villages built on stilts in Tanjung Piai here into international eco-tourism destinations, several drawbacks have yet to be overcome.

Tanjung Piai MP Datuk Seri Wee Jeck Seng said that many of the homestays and chalets in Kukup and Kampung Air Masin have yet to receive a Certificate of Fitness for Occupation (CFO).
